It has been a turbulent time for Manchester United when it comes to saying goodbye to Erik ten Hag, hiring of Rubén Amorimand previous participant Ruud Van Nistelrooy took the value of membership until the world fracture in November. The growth of the era will also be revealed within the team, it is not clear that they also have work to do after the 1-1 draw against Chelsea at home on Sunday.
Bruno Fernandes’ penalty was canceled once by a good shot by Moisés Caicedo. Neither team will be satisfied with the draw, as Chelsea may have reached the zenith four with a win, but it shows growth for the Red Devils, who looked more cohesive than in previous weeks. Amorim will need work on his finishing, scoring just one goal with an xG of 1.96, as Rasmus Hojlund struggled to get away in the Chelsea half. Generally, achieving a spot in the top half is an advancement, but this was something everyone could win.
Next up is a return to European action with Manchester United taking on PAOK in the Europa League and future Chelsea hosting FC Noah in the Europa Convention League.
The conclusions of the adjustment are listed below:
Chelsea cannot play in the Champions League
With a win, the Blues could have moved up to third place in the league, but common mistakes once again ruined them against Manchester United. Robert Sánchez’s problem on Hojlund required a good defensive performance and became an anticipation to release problems. The goalkeeper has been successful when it comes to stopping shots, but his decisions in corners and demanding situations have been costly at times, like on Sunday.
To get to where they want to be, Chelsea can’t have the money to collapse at key moments like this. Enzo Maresca has accomplished a good job of transforming a tumultuous workforce, but there is still much work to be done. Getting Reece James back to his favorite spot on the right side of the defense will help, as will playing consistently for several months with the younger team. Chelsea are going in the right direction in whatever month they want. Unfortunately, with the race to the top of the table becoming closer than ever, he may not be on your side right now.
The forward’s problems continue
Manchester United want to determine their best option on the 9th. Once Hojlund was awarded a penalty, he didn’t take a single shot during the attack even though United scored 11. That, combined with Alejandro Garnacho taking ill-advised shots during the attack , Amorim will need to work on offensive development in a heartbeat. Joshua Zirkzee’s arrival in the game helped because he was a more creative option, but United want to find out who they can turn to when a goal is needed.
The consequences won’t always be there for Fernandes and without all the set pieces to boost their attack, all of United’s key options performed poorly. That could be strengthened as performances improve, but impeccable techniques will come in handy.
Kobbie Mainoo is irreplaceable
United’s midfield was once static outside of Fernandes and one of the reasons for that is that he was not available for adjustment. The youngest Kobbie Mainoo might only be 19 years old, but he has become important to United’s attack at 19 years old. Mainoo seems to drive the attack with his future dribbling and is also no longer afraid to execute. Along with Casemiro or Manuel Ugarte, who could balance out United’s rotations, but with the more skilled defensive midfielders, the wings haven’t been a lot of solid pieces to assemble. Amorim prefers a back 3, which is where the vast farmland will be important, and adjustments like this make you wonder what he’ll do before players like Mainoo and Luke Shaw are healthy.
